Why are undead not-Romans not a thing? Post undead not- Romans...

Sounds sweet so far.I'm digging it.

And about Africa, it's just a matter of doing some research of what was going on there previously to 1531 and then work on it.

This game has multiplayer?

yes nigger thats the whole point

It sure does

Yea unfortunately they Africans didn't write a lot of shit down and the Europeans just wrote about killing them.

Now that I think about it the Muslims might have kept history, ill have to look into that.

>Being literate, having clean water, maintaining proper hygiene

If you did a historical roman empire then most people would've been illiterate. Romans adored the rural lifestyle, so as a culture they did not give literacy a big priority.

Clean water in the cities yes, everywhere else depends on the source.

Proper hygiene was a pretty constant thing until the black death.
In roman times for example celtic and german tribes used soap (unlike the greeks and romans) and had a bathing culture, steppe tribes had sauna tents.
Not just the "civilized" guys cared about being clean.

I once tried to make a setting where there was a not-Roman empire that was run by catgirls. However no one wanted to play it and I ended up running shadowrun instead.

>Also why there are so few Rome inspired civilizations anyway?
there are
our whole modern civilization is Roman-inspired

So an idea I've been messing with in my campaign world is that the Elves are the not-Romans. It's a play on the idea that Elves are the oldest civilization, basically the rest of the world has moved on to feudalism but the slow moving and near-immortal Elves carry on with their Republic that's been around for over a millennium.

Full-blooded Elves are patricians by default, and all of the other races are plebeians (the exception being Orcs, who are a kind of warrior class that exists outside the rest of society). "Elven Secrets" are practical things like how to build aqueducts and other high technology, which the non-elven world doesn't have knowledge of (and may be prevented from gaining that knowledge by Elven Illuminati).

I'd like to run a campaign where the players are working for an ambitious Elven senator.

If magic works the african witch doctors can create superhumans by giving warriors the strength of lions/speed of cheetas and stuff. Iirc the reason zulu warriors just ran fearlessly into hailstorms of bullets was bc they believed magic had made their skin impenetrable. Africa could be a dangerous fucking place.
